The sudden silence of the system made Zhong Qi suddenly have a hint of alarm. But he didn't show it, quickly hiding this trace of vigilance, and did not let the system detect his momentary mood fluctuations.

He asked the system: [By the way, system, what is my mission, is it just to monitor the plot?] 】

System: [The host's mission is to monitor the plot.] The tone was flat, but he still affirmed the task.

This answer is no different from the answer I have received several times before.

[But-the plot has long deviated too much from the original plot you gave me.] 】

But the system still insists on the answer: [The host's task is to monitor the plot, please fulfill the task seriously.] 】

Zhong Qi was almost speechless: [I understand, even if I lie flat and rot, right? 】

The system was silent for a moment, as if it was understanding what it meant to "lie flat and rotten", and only replied after a while: [In order to be able to better monitor the plot, please also ask the host to work hard to cultivate and break through as soon as possible. 】

Zhong Qi: [...... Got it. 】

seemed to feel that Zhong Qi's answer was a bit perfunctory, and the system emphasized it again: [Please work hard to upgrade the host and keep up with the rhythm of the plot as soon as possible.] 】

Zhong Qi: ......

After the explanation, Zhong Qi could clearly feel the departure of the system.

After using the divine mind to call the system several times but there was no response, Zhong Qi calmed down and thought about it for a while.

At the same time, Su Jianxing was still sitting in the Cloud Viewing Pavilion.

There was a slight sound of wind ringing in his ears, and Su Jianxing pulled back his thoughts from his contemplation, and turned his face slightly to look at the person sitting beside him.

Seeing someone coming, Su Jianxing was not surprised, she supported her elbow and raised her cheeks to look at him: "Why are you here?" ”

"Wang Chang said that the plum blossoms here are good, so I came here to take a look, and when I walked down, I saw you sitting here alone, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, he reached for the empty kettle.

The white robe he was wearing today was covered with a light gray gauze robe, and when he went to fetch the kettle, the sleeves of his shirt were pulled back to reveal a wrist.

Su Jianxing's gaze caught a glimpse inadvertently, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The skin color that is exposed is not too white, but the bones are distinct, the muscles attached to it are smooth, and the undulations present a natural, powerful beauty that makes it impossible to take your eyes off.

Before this, Su Jianxing had always felt that if she wanted to find a Taoist partner, she must find someone handsome, after all, as long as her face was good-looking, no matter what the other party did that made her angry, as long as she looked at that face, she would be angry.

But in the end, what kind of handsome the other party wants to become, Su Jianxing himself has no idea. After all, he has lived for 3,000 years in his last life, although he may have glanced at a peerless handsome face and remembered it for a few days, he has never had the desire to possess or have something to do with the other party in his heart.

Maybe it's frigidity. Su Jianxing always thought so.

Until now, she had only seen a piece of her wrist and thought of many mosaic images in her mind.

Realizing what he was thinking, he "boomed", and there seemed to be a burst of fire rushing to his head. Su Jianxing felt that his whole face might be ripe.

But even so, she still couldn't take her eyes off

I'm going to die, what's going on, what's going on?

Taichen lifted the pot and weighed it, and found that the kettle was empty, so he took out a porcelain bottle, opened the lid and poured water into the pot.

The small porcelain vase was no bigger than a palm, but it quickly filled the kettle with a capacity of one liter.

Su Jianxing easily looked away at the scenery in the distance, took the opportunity to take a deep breath secretly, and set a breeze trick for himself, only then did he feel that the temperature of his cheeks dropped slightly. As soon as he turned his face, he saw Taichen's movements.

She didn't dare to stay on his wrist longer, and fell directly on the palm-sized porcelain bottle, and had nothing to say: "What are you?" ”

"This?" Taichen shook the porcelain vase, and when he saw her nodding, he handed the porcelain vase over and said, "This is the spring water of the Guiyi Sect." It's not anything special, but I'm used to drinking it, so I'll prepare some when I come out. ”

Su Jianxing took the porcelain bottle and glanced inside, and from the mouth of the bottle, he could clearly see that it was full of clear liquid. Needless to say, this small bottle is also a magic weapon of a space-like space, but it is used to hold liquids, which is not uncommon.

Taichen had already re-lit the tandoor, put the kettle on it, and waited for the water to boil.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere of silence spread in the small pavilion. But this silence was not embarrassing, but made Su Jianxing feel a rare calm.

A faint scent wafted from the tip of her nose, but she was keenly captured.

"It's Mei Xiang." She spoke suddenly, breaking the silence of the room. As she spoke, her eyes had unconsciously followed the scent to trace the source, and sure enough, she saw a plum grove not far below.

Before spring, most of the plum blossoms in the forest have not yet opened, and only a few plum trees adorned with golden yellow flowers are in full bloom. A trace of fragrance is constantly emitted in all directions.

"Well, that's what Wang Chang said about Lamei." Taichen said, slowly pouring the boiling tea into the cup in front of Su Jianxing.

"Hmm—it's really fragrant and beautiful." Su Jianxing often sits here and watches the scenery, but her eyes often fall on the distance, but she looks close. It wasn't until today that she knew there was a Merlin so close to her.

Looking down at the plum forest from top to bottom, although there are only a few plum trees blooming at the moment, judging from the plum trees in the forest with different postures, this plum forest must be the most colorful and beautiful existence in the courtyard in spring.

"What are you thinking?" Xu was because the scenery in Su Jianxing's imagination was too beautiful, so that a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, which attracted Taichen's sideways inquiry.

Su Jianxing didn't hide his secrets, but only generously shared what he thought with him.

Hearing this, Taichen seemed to be infected by the scenery she described, and there was a little smile on his face. He asked her, "Are you feeling better now?" ”

Su Jianxing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Taichen stretched out his hand and pointed down, and said, "Just now I was standing there, looking at you sitting alone, your brows narrowed, and you looked full of worries." ”

Su Jianxing was stunned, so he came up to sit with her?

If he didn't say it, she really didn't realize that she wasn't in a good mood for a while. But it is undeniable that such silent companionship does make her mood much better.

She smiled and said, "It's really much better, thank you." ”

Taichen shook his head: "No. ”

Su Jianxing's heart moved, she supported her elbows, supported her cheeks with one hand, looked at him sideways, and asked, "There is a question I have always wanted to ask you." ”

"You say." He reached for his tea, tilting his head slightly in a listening motion.

Su Jianxing's gaze fell on the wrist he stretched out again, as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly moved away, only to feel that his throat was suddenly dry, and he reached out to take the water glass in front of him and drank it all.

"Don't-" Taichen looked at her abrupt move with some surprise, and the outstretched hand that wanted to stop it stopped in mid-air.

Apparently he stopped it too late.

The hot water that had not completely cooled down had already fallen into Su Jianxing's mouth and poured into his stomach.

Su Jianxing was stunned, and for a moment her eyes widened and she was completely speechless.

"Is it hot? Hurry up and let me see. Taichen's face showed a rare panic, holding her face with both hands, and asked her to open her mouth to show him if there were any burns.

Su Jianxing looked at him stunned and didn't say a word.

"Su Jianxing, you speak." Taichen's voice lingered in her ears, and a slightly anxious expression was amplified and swayed from side to side in front of her eyes.

Ran Su saw the star as if he had been immobilized by a spell, not speaking, not moving, and not panting.

Just when Taichen was already thinking about whether to carry her back directly, Su Jianxing's eyes finally moved.

Sensing her movements, Taichen's movements just stopped, and carefully watched her reaction.

Su Jianxing coughed, moved his mouth that was still a little sore from the hot water, and asked softly, "Taichen, do you like me?" ”

This chapter was written yesterday, and I was going to post it in the morning, but I read it myself, and I didn't think it was right, so I changed it several times. Please give us your comments. In addition, I would like to thank the book friend Amytangtang for the big two monthly passes
